DO NOT BEGIN UNTIL YOU ARE

INSTRUCTED TO DO SO
This section of the competition consists of 30 problems.
You will have 40 minutes to complete all the problems.
You are not allowed to use calculators, books, or other
aids during this round. Calculations may be done on
scratch paper. All answers must be complete, legible and
simplified to lowest terms. Record only final answers in the
blanks in the right-hand column of the competition booklet.
If you complete the problems before time is called, use the
remaining time to check your answers.

In each written round of the competition, the required unit

for the answer is included in the answer blank. The plural
form of the unit is always used, even if the answer appears
to require the singular form of the unit. The unit provided
in the answer blank is the only form of the answer that will
be accepted.

This round of the competition consists of eight problems,
which will be presented in pairs. Work on one pair of
problems will be completed and answers will be collected
before the next pair is distributed. The time limit for each
pair of problems is six minutes. The first pair of problems
is on the other side of this sheet. When told to do so,
turn the page over and begin working. Record your final
answers in the designated blanks on the problem sheet.
All answers must be complete, legible, and simplified to
lowest terms. This round assumes the use of calculators,
and calculations may also be done on scratch paper, but
no other aids are allowed. If you complete the problems
before time is called, use the time remaining to check your
answers.
